Abstract
The paper discusses the drawbacks of the NAFTA agreement but reveals that the success of Canada's economic life depends on serious, pragmatic cooperation with the United States. The paper looks at the argument that Canada's political relationship with the U.S. should remain friendly, but its economic focus should shift to other regions such as China or India. The paper explains why an economic relationship with the United States is a necessity for Canada.
From the Paper
"Many Canadian citizens fear the nation is getting the short end of the stick regarding NAFTA. To date, there have been nine cases against Canada under Chapter 11 of NAFTA alone - all of which involved challenges by U.S. companies operating within Canada. Two of these cases revolved around the controversial 1996 Canada-U.S. Softwood Lumber agreement (Molot 163). Another case was brought against Canada by United Parcel Service (UPS), who argued that its Canadian position was being undermined by rivals Purolator Courier, Priority Courier and Expresspost (ibid, 163). Other cases involve Sun Belt Water Inc., who sued Canada for British Columbia's prohibition on the export of fresh water, and Crompton, who has sued the Canadian government for its decision to ban a pesticide desirable to the chemical manufacturer (ibid 163). Many question, then, how the NAFTA agreement is good for Canadians when such legal cases keep rising."

Abstract
The following paper argues that NAFTA has had a significant impact upon Canada. It further argues that Canada's free trade arrangement with the United States will pull it into the U.S. orbit in ways that will eventually make Canadian independence of any kind impossible. The possibility of a North American Monetary Union and the foundation for structures like a joint customs union are credible now in a way they arguably were not prior to the ratification of NAFTA. The paper claims that Canada allows itself to be bound more and more tightly to the American economy through vehicles such as the North American Free Trade Agreement and political and socio-cultural integration.
From the Paper
"Others go further to argue that Canada's free trade arrangement with the United States will pull it into the U.S. orbit in ways that will eventually make Canadian independence of any kind impossible. For example, the possibility of a North American Monetary Union and the foundation for structures like a joint customs union are credible now in a way they arguably were not prior to the ratification of the NAFTA. As well, one should not forget that the events of 9/11 have made some kind of "deeper" North American integration seem desirable to many (Gilbert, 202-203). In the end, as Canada allows itself to be bound more and more tightly to the American economy through vehicles such as the North American Free Trade Agreement, political and socio-cultural integration (already well-advanced in the latter case) will become more pronounced, as well.

Abstract
This paper will provide evidence that clearly supports the notion that NAFTA is unhealthy for Canada, economically, politically, and culturally. Parenthetically, it might also be added that it is bad for Mexico and the US as well. In sum, as it stands at present, there is little if anything meritorious about the formal relationship that economically binds the North American continent together. On an informal level, the consequences may even be worse.

Abstract
This paper explains that the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) controversy of the late 1980s galvanized Canadians. The author points out that many conclusions about the negative impact of Free Trade upon working Canadians, noted by by S. McBride and J. Shields, are correct. The paper suggests that other social factors must be considered."
From the Paper
"The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) controversy of the late 1980s galvanized Canadians from coast to coast. In the end, the proponents of Free Trade triumphed, but not without hard feelings on both sides. This paper examines a contentious 1993 article written by S. McBride and J. Shields that denounces the North American Free Trade Agreement as a miscalculation that constitutes an assault upon the traditional Canadian polity (161). In the final analysis, this paper will argue that while McBride and Shields are not wrong in many of their conclusions, their work could still stand a few emendations."

Abstract
This paper provides a thorough definition of NAFTA and proceeds to examine the impact that this agreement has had on the United States. It deals with personal issues such as claims of heightened unemployment as well as national issues such as tax benefits and improved trade.
From the paper:
"On January 1, 1994, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was implement between Canada, Mexico, and the United States. This treaty drops most tariffs by 50% immediately, and dropped to zero by 2009. It is a unique trading agreement between two developed countries and a developing nation on a single continent. After eight years since NAFTA commenced, there are mixed analysis and opinions on whether this treaty is a success. It was designed to provide a free-flow of goods between countries without imputative measures and tariffs being enforced; it was promoted as a means to improve productivity and create jobs in the three countries; and, it was touted as model for further free-trade blocs to be created in the Americas and in other regional markets. After eights, no other free-trade blocs exists, nor has any other free-trade treaties been pursued and/or implemented by the NAFTA partners; and, with a world in a recession, there are two points of views on whether NAFTA has been more damaging than good during at this time, or if NAFTA has prevented further harm through its free-flow of goods."

Abstract
"This paper examines some of the costs and benefits of NAFTA for the Canadian economy. The author evaluates whether or not NAFTA could ever evolve into a more comprehensive alliance along the lines of the European Union. The paper relates that, determining the value of NAFTA to Canada is not a clear-cut case of good or bad.
From the Paper
"There are a variety of benefits and costs for Canada when considering continued participation in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). In fact, depending on who is questioned, the risks will alternately outweigh or underscore the benefits that NAFTA has to offer Canada. Determining the value of NAFTA, accordingly, is not a clear-cut case of good or bad. Instead, there are a myriad number of forces at work that can make NAFTA appealing in some instances but not others."

The Deficiencies in NAFTA, 2002.
An overview of the restrictions and complications facing NAFTA in Canada, the United States and Mexico.

Abstract
This paper looks into the ongoing restrictions and complications found in financial capital flows in the NAFTA area. It finds that the primary problem can be attributed to the relative underdevelopment of Mexico's economy and financial markets. While Canada is also disadvantaged by the agreement, cast in the dark shadow of the US, we have a much longer history of open trade with the US and the global economy at large. As a result, our financial markets are also much more developed. Mexico, in contrast, is like the Canada of the early 20th century: still struggling to achieve any meaningful degree of economic development and inherently more prone to keep its proverbial 'guard' up. To provide substance to this assertion, a brief background of the NAFTA agreement will be given followed by highlights of Mexican economic underdevelopment. Armed with this knowledge, an evaluation of the potential for more efficient financial markets in the NAFTA region will be provided.

Abstract
This paper discusses the impact that NAFTA has had on the Canadian economy. Through examples of the role that NAFTA has played it is seen that this impact has been largely positive. Areas examined include NAFTA's role in mediating between the U.S. and Canada and increased employment through an increase in trade opportunity, among others. Arguments defending the role of NAFTA against criticism it has faced are also presented.
From the Paper
"Canada and the United States have had a long-standing friendship in which the two nations live peacefully side-by-side. The borders are not armed, the residents of each nation have respect for the other and there are many advantages enjoyed by remaining friendly. Just as any two friends will have disagreements from time to time, Canada and the US have also had their share of problems. One of the problems that has occurred from time to time between the two nations deals with the economics of each nation. NAFTA, which is a membership group designed to promote and improve trade relations within the member nations is sometimes called in to mediate between Canada and the US. NAFTA has had a positive impact on the Canadian economy overall, but it has not been without its problems for the northernmost country of the North American continent."

The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), 2007.
This paper discusses the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) between the U.S., Mexico and Canada and its impact on the U.S. job market.

Abstract
This paper explains that the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was designed to open up the Canadian, U.S. and Mexican borders to free trade; however, NAFTA's ratification and implementation over the last decade has not had uniform success. The author points out that, while many detractors of NAFTA had predicted that the U.S. economy would run at an overall trade deficit with both Canada and Mexico, they failed to observe that overall exports to these two markets would increase greatly as well. The paper also examines the impact of NAFTA on the U.S. job market and concludes that some of the apparatus within NAFTA's regulatory structure, which allows for negotiation and renegotiation, should be utilized to make adjustments for the economic impact NAFTA has had on the U.S. economy especially on job loss. The paper includes tables on job creation and loss and wage changes.

From the Paper
"One industry that has been in decline in the U.S. for many years has been the textile industry. NAFTA's detractors often, supported by the U.S. textile industry itself, belabored this point in arguments against ratification of NAFTA. Cook points out that although NAFTA led to expanded markets for the U.S. textile industry by: 1) the elimination of import duties into Mexico on U.S. produced yarns and cotton, and 2) by mandating that Mexican textile manufacturers actually utilize U.S. yarn and cotton in textiles that are exported to the U.S. and Canadian markets."
